Ha DTK, I like your picture, nice rifle he's holding there. I think I have some of Marine Force Recon somewhere. Either way, The border towns to Russia are always a little muddy on their loyalty, for the simple fact they are easily accessed by Russians, it just so happens the Crimean Peninsula was in a way, a border town to Russia. I agree with beta, Economic sanctions would be the only suitable way to assist Ukraine, although strapping them into billions of dollars into debt isn't wise either. We (America) seem to have an issue with debt, we like it, so much so as were willing to loan every dime we have to our enemy. The way I see it is, as any Russian leader, Putin wants to regain that old USSR. While the U.S. being in its current condition having no Foreign policy what-so-ever, is sitting with our hands tied behind our back watching. The only choice would be military actions, and that would lead to a full out war between America and Russia, if not a World War. The deciding victor of either of those conflicts is quite unclear as current world standings, are what they are, but my gut feeling would be a "Minor Victory" on Russia side, knowing America doesn't easily roll over (or at least it didn't). Back to Crimean Peninsula 'Crisis'. As I said its just, as any Russian leader has done, that wanting to restore the USSR. Whatever lame excuse for the fireworks war, I don't mind. As long as this doesn't lead to a Sudetenland situation, I don't see a problem. And for you DTK here is the one good picture of Marine Force Recon I can find:deeteekay said:CommandoBeta said:Surrounding Ukrainian military bases is obviously Russian aggression. I think everyone understands that this Crimean referendum will be far from fair, it will probably be just as 'fair' as the Russian elections. Unfortunately there's not much that can be done about it at this point. A military intervention is no option, risking a further escalation of the situation would be stupidity. I do believe that economic sanctions would be in order.
Regardless if it's fair or not, Crimea is certain to leave Ukraine because a majority support Crimean secession from Ukraine.
Same could be said about the Russian elections you mentioned. Regardless if those claims of "widespread fraud" were true or not, Putin would've won either way because a majority of Russians supported and voted for him.

I couldn't agree more, Mr.O. From what I've seen and know, Putin is cold war KGB thru & thru. Plus, he knows America is weak with Obama in the WH and that the EU is very dependent on Russia for energy. How far will America, more importantly the EU, go in terms of sanctions? Such a delicate matter, one of which Putin is winning by the day. Just today Putin increased the costs of natural gas and energy to Ukraine by 26%! Their economy already on the verge on bankruptcy. This land grab by Putin is starting to look a lot like when the Nazi's invaded Poland in 1939. Similar set of circumstances and reasoning according to Putin's logic. In light of Russia's actions, North Korea becoming increasingly provocative again, same with Iran. Anything they can do to stick to Obama. They know he's weak and his foreign policy based on delusional thinking.
What's the next step in this crisis? We shall see.
I hope Obama grows a pair of nuts and goes ahead with building the missile defense shield in Poland. A plan that Obama himself shelved in order to hit that "reset button" with a country run by a megalomaniac war monger.

My view is that if Russia wishes to invade and annex parts of Ukraine, let them do so. I don't understand why the fucked US government thinks they need to intervene and waste money, why they think this is any of our business. None of this affects me or the average US citizen in any way.
